    I love the cover art of all the Putumayo CDs but there’s just something about the girl’s brown skin, black hair, and purple flower…

    Thanks DD and Jeanne! I’m not sure how this would translate into jewelry, but it makes for a good painting.

    necklace? let’s see – the lilac teardrop as a pendant (of course) with gold wire or bail. I’m thinking about an inch of brown on either side, then the buttercup connector, something purple, maybe another connector and more brown….
    I usually just play with the beads, but maybe I should start sketching. I know some of you do. Also – I tend to be very symmetrical.

    Thank you Joyce and Jeanne! Thanks for the ideas, Jeanne. I tend to be kinda symmetrical in my designs, too, I’m trying to force myself out of the habit, even if only temporarily.

    what a fun discussion regarding designs being symmetrical… I tend to be the opposite myself so that’s why I often make designs like lariats which have some “room” for being asymmetrical… either way whether you make a symmetrical necklace or not the stones and connectors all work really well together, love Jeanne’s suggestions about the lilac teardrop as your pendant then w/ the brown on either side, a flower connector then purple… what about mixing the colors together a bit… have some mono colored sections and some where the colors are mixed… :) separated by the flower connectors…

    Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:

    That sounds like a great idea, Joyce – to mix colors in some parts. It would tie them together nicely. This is hard for me to do without the physical stones.
